SIEMENS Biograph mCT 128 PET/CT

Siemens Biograph mCT 128 PET/CT Scanner

The Siemens Biograph mCT 128 PET/CT scanner is a cutting-edge imaging system that seamlessly integrates positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) technologies. This fusion enables precise anatomical and functional imaging, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

Key Features:

• High-Resolution Imaging: Equipped with 128-slice CT capabilities, the Biograph mCT delivers exceptional image clarity, facilitating the detection of small lesions and subtle anatomical details.
• Wide Bore Design: The 78 cm bore diameter accommodates a diverse patient population, including those with claustrophobia or larger body types, ensuring comfort without compromising image quality.
• Fast Acquisition Times: With a minimum scan time of 0.3 seconds, the system reduces motion artifacts and enhances patient throughput.
• Advanced Detector Technology: Utilizing lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals measuring 4 x 4 x 20 mm, the PET component offers high sensitivity and rapid response times, crucial for accurate imaging.
• High Table Capacity: The patient table supports up to 227 kg (500 lbs), accommodating a broad spectrum of patients safely and comfortably.
